Not-suitable for engineering – Great, compact and lightweight laptop, however not suitable for downloading multiple softwares for engineering. When problems arise (Commonly doesn't connect to internet quickly), laptop has to been sent away to Microsoft. Show details
Having trouble – Having trouble with it rendering in affinity photo and is freezing with a simple command... I checked that the laptop had the right requirements for these tasks before I bought it and it was the main reason for buying it so I could work from anywhere. I have sent it back and it is still playing up. But in saying that in all other aspects it works fine. I do banking and pay the rent and never have problems. Show details
Worst laptop ever – Crashes randomly, extremely poor battery life, screen is bleeding, extremely slow, overall terrible laptop. Would not recommend this even to my worst enemy thats how bad this piece of crap is. Show details
DO NOT BUY – Catastrophic failure within 6 months. Microsoft will not exchange (for new) or refund any major faults which is not in line with Consumer Laws of Australia. They offer no compensation for lost work time and no attempts to expedite processes unless you provide credit card details and give them $,$$$. They will exchange for a second hand model but this takes months and the faults repeat. A very expensive lesson learned. Show details
Horrible product and customer support – So I have a Surface Pro 4, a while back it started flickering, I did some investigation and it turns out to be a well known and documented manufacturing problem, it’s so severe actually that they have a global replacement program. I went through their support and they confirmed that my device is indeed defective but because I bought it more than a… Read more
year ago they won’t replace the device! Instead, they “offered” me another Surface Pro 4 for $851 and the support girl in China is surprised that I’m not “satisfied with her resolution”.
Too many issues, but decent for some – The OG Surface Laptop. Running a 7th Gen i5, where 10th Gen is the latest. I experienced poor battery life as well (it was a demo anyway, so battery was only 2/3 the size of rated capacity!). It has hardly any ports. The webcam is horrible. On the plus side- it has a very, very good screen (touchscreen as well). The keyboard and trackpad are a… Read more
dream as well. It also is thin and very,very light making it extremely portable. However, it is a fingerprint magnet. Don't pay anything more than $800 for this spec otherwise you'll be bitterly disappointed. UPDATE: The Hinge is going crazy after just 6 months of ownership. Dropping the rating. UPDATE 2: THE "BLUE ALCANTARA" is just a blue plastic layer over GREY alcantara and is peeling off! Dropping the rating down again
Worst computer ever (and the customer service isn't much better – This device has failed three times and has been replaced by Microsoft, each new one fails in a different way - audio, camera, battery. Buy any other computer on the market.
